The power of Christ was not with the box office this Easter weekend.
Topped by the horror film The Curse of La Llorona, theaters reportedly saw the worst Easter weekend income in 15 years, and the worst attendance in a good 25. That’s probably because no studio wanted to open a big film against Avengers: Endgame’s sure-to-be-record-breaking opening this weekend. But it did allow La Llorona—as well as the Christian miracle trash of Breakthrough—to open against damn near no newcomer competition.
That let The Curse of La Llorona over-perform with $26.5 million #1 debut. Shazam! was pushed to second with $17.3 million, and Breakthrough went wide in third with $11.1 million. Captain Marvel climbed back up to fourth with $9.1 million (a rare increase in dollar-amount in a seventh week, again thanks to Endgame in more ways than one), and Little rounded out the top five with $8.5 million.
See you next week, when clearly we’ll just be posting this meme above the text “Disney rn.”
